Atlantica Grand Mediterraneo Resort & Spa

I’m writing this as we wait for our transfer to the airport, we have had the most peaceful relaxing holiday here at this hotel, it is set in such a wonderful scenic location and the view is outstanding. The positives are mainly the views, the beach and the most wonderful staff we have ever met. They go out of their way for you, from the service they provide to having a chat, to checking everything is okay for you throughout your stay. Special mention goes to Odysseus at the White Pearl restaurant at the beach, he is such a wonderful genuine man who is so attentive, he always has a smile and we had some good chats and a laugh with him whilst there. Zacharriah at the Vertigo restaurant also stood out, the service he gave was outstanding, and also Magda at reception was so helpful and informative and really friendly. Food - the breakfast was amazing and always so much choice and the food was always hot and fresh. We were however disappointed in the lunch and evening meals, there was a real lack of vegetables and pork, chicken and turkey served almost daily with no change up of the sides. Same chips, potatoes and rice each day, this unfortunately does let the hotel down slightly as we didn’t look forward to evening meal. However the food at the vertigo restaurant and at the white pearl is amazing and beautifully presented. The drinks and cocktails served as part of the all inclusive are also amazing, premium brands and all mixed perfectly. We had a couple of issues with our room when we first arrived, the shower was leaking and wouldn’t stay up but this was quickly dealt with and replaced the next day, and our safe wouldn’t work but that was also sorted. We did have a slight smell of sewage in our bathroom but once the air conditioning had been on it did go. We would return to this hotel but the food would need to improve as it’s not 5 star food served in the evening.

Really nice massage. Thank you Asimina, I enjoyed the moment ! The spa is clean and nice. If you want a good massage this is the right place

Pressure exactly what was expected, had a wonderful back massage that removed any previous pain. Very clean, welcoming, definitely worth the money spent, thank you Antonia

Busted the spa today and had a lovely back massage and face yoga massage, would definitely recommend. Andreas who complete both massage’s did a wonderful job.

If you’re looking for peace, tranquillity and a proper switch-off, this is the place. Perched remotely in Corfu, it feels like you’ve escaped the world — in the best way possible. On arrival we were greeted (not by staff, but by another guest) with the words: “Have you just arrived? This is the worst hotel I’ve ever been to. They’re pumping sewage into the sea and you’ll wait an hour for a cart or the funicular. I'm leaving today - i only arrived yesterday, i've managed to get a tranfer to another hotel” Not exactly the welcome you dream of within your first five minutes. However, i would like to say to that guest — You must have been staying at a different hotel! Did we wait for golf carts? Yes. Did we wait for the funicular lift? Yes. Was it ever an hour? Absolutely not. The longest was about 10 minutes, and we expected that because (like sensible travellers) we’d read reviews before booking. And the sewage at the beach - ermmmm..... we you at a different beach too?!? Anyway - back to my honest review: We stayed in room 453 with a swim-up pool and honestly, it was bliss. The water temperature was spot on every day, and the terrace loungers were so comfortable they deserve their own five-star rating. Housekeeping were the absolute stars of the show — always smiling, always friendly, and made us feel properly cared for. The main restaurant was a pleasant surprise: varied, plentiful, and even great vegan options. Shout-outs to Paulina, Ismini and Thomassis, who were a real credit to the hotel — so friendly and genuinely going above and beyond. Reception staff were equally wonderful: super quick check-in (we had a private transfer and were welcomed with a drink that hit the spot), and despite seeing a few coach transfer queues during our stay, we noticed the team dealt with them swiftly. Magda and Magdalena especially made us feel right at home. And George on the golf cart — what a gem! Honestly, give that man a medal. Evenings were exactly as advertised: low-key, relaxed and lovely. Sitting with a drink after dinner while listening to live background music was such a treat, with different vibes each night. Some guests treated it like they were at a Jess Glynne concert (front row at the O2!), which made us chuckle — but honestly, it was lovely to see people enjoying their holiday with such gusto. A huge mention must go to Christine — honestly, one of the best hotel staff we’ve ever met. Always friendly, attentive, polite and never without a smile. An absolute joy. And Odassis (apologies if I’ve spelled that wrong!) at the White Pearl — excellence personified. WOW. Now for a couple of quirks. Although we didn;t use the main pool area during the day, on the occasions we did pop up for a change of scenery or a great cup of coffee, it was sun-lounger reservations at dawn. Towels as far as the eye can see. Still, even with the squeeze, it felt calm enough. As for the all-inclusive, we didn’t really feel the benefit with a swim-up room. Yes, the minibar is topped up — but it’s a bit hit and miss. My personal highlight? Being handed a Diet Pepsi with a raised eyebrow and the words: “Again? But you had one yesterday.” Nothing like being rationed on holiday! In hindsight, if we book a swim-up again, we’d probably just go full board and stock the fridge ourselves. One final mention: we spotted a small communication hiccup and mentioned it to guest relations as a simple FYI. Their response absolutely floored us — so warm, so appreciative, and they offered something really special by way of thanks. Huge credit to the hotel manager and guest relations team. Overall, the Atlantica Grande Mediterraneo is a slice of calm with some truly wonderful staff. The swim-up pool was heaven, the service from certain individuals unforgettable, and while the Pepsi police gave us a laugh, it’s a hotel we’d happily return to — armed with a fridge full of our own drinks next time.
